This paper aims at retracing the political journey of the orientalist Giorgio Levi Della Vida (1886-1967), born in a distinguished family of Italian assimilated Jews, in the course of two crucial decades in early 20th century Italian history. Through his personal memoirs and less known archival documents, it also aims at presenting Levi Della Vida’s peculiar perspective on the events he was part of, while underlining his unbroken commitment to the principles of intellectual and academic freedom. |
